Disentangling the feedback contributions from AGN outbursts, star formation and galaxy winds to the energetics of gas in galaxies, galaxy groups and clusters is a key problem in galaxy evolution. Recent work has shown that kpc-scale radio bubbles connected to an active nucleus can be found in a wide range of host-galaxy environments, including spiral galaxies. We recently carried out a Chandra observation of one such system NGC 6764, finding X-ray luminous hot gas associated with the radio bubbles. Here we propose to observe two further Seyfert galaxies with kpc-scale radio bubbles, NGC 3367 and Markarian 6, in order to determine whether shock heating is ubiquitous in these systems, and to disentangle the effects of AGN, star formation activity and superwinds.
